New replacement request thread: topic #16765
--------------
Making this thread since we'll probably need a place to organize where to request replacement posts given the way we now handle image samples. Let's get this warning out of the way first.
DO NOT REPLACE SAMPLES EXPLICITLY. LET A MODERATOR REPLACE THEM.
This thread is for primarily replacing image samples, and more specifically image samples whose full size images are typically no longer available (bad id, protected link, etc). If you have an image that is better than a post that is already legitimate to begin with (sourced from the artist's Twitter, Pixiv, deviantArt, Tumblr, etc) just upload it separately.
If the post you want to replace still has a live source, tag it replaceme instead so a moderator can replace it. Otherwise, post here.
The way this works is this. Post a post #, and a link to the full-size, like this:
post #2276553

You can share multiple posts to replace in a single comment, but just keep this syntax the same.
Twitter md5 mismatches are fine, since we can't really check those for integrity quite just yet. You are also welcome to post them here if you are absolutely sure one is a sample of another, and it would be more preferable than if you replaced it altogether (since the post will still be live as we replace it, and it won't count against your record if it goes deleted).
One more thing: Confirmed image samples MUST come from the same source. Let's put that into example:
- You can't claim that an inferior twitter post is an image sample of a superior post on pixiv that should be replaced; just upload the pixiv image, and parent the Twitter post. That goes for any other inferior -> superior source given both are from the artist, ex. Tumblr -> artist blog (post #2785414).
- You also can't claim an image is a sample that should be replaced if it has no source provided and doesn't match an md5 anywhere on a given site (whether that be Twitter, Tumblr, Pixiv/seiga), but you can flag it for deletion once a superior post has been following how we treat unfairly modified posts (waifu2x, unsourced third-party conversions, etc).
